Today we will dig a little deeper into slow living and think about slow living for busy people…
Earlier this month we talked about slow living, what it is and what it is not. It does not mean doing everything as slowly as possible. It is not just about living simply.
What is slow living?
Slow living is an approach to life that emphasizes enjoying a higher quality of life by slowing down everyday activities.
To revisit our intro to slow living, check out our blog from earlier this month.
Why I Need Slow Living
Due to my career and multi-passionate interests, being fast has always been an asset.
Time economy is important to me and multitasking is a specialty of mine. Though it is usually a skill, my desire to be fast has over time increased my impatience. Most of my mistakes, in and outside of work, come from simply doing things too fast.
I get frustrated when my husband interrupts me while I am doing something else. I’m so focused on streamlining everyday tasks to be efficient that I miss things going on around me.
I get stressed out easily and have trouble focusing on one thing at a time.
I am tired of not making the most of my time, especially with my family.
I am only busy because I make myself feel so busy. So let’s talk about slow living for busy people.
